Is the entirety of your code in your __init__ class?
I'm not sure if the spacing got mangled in the e-mail but the way it came
across when I cut and pasted the class into my editor is that your while
loop is in the main Class, not in the __init__ function. Since the class
gets created before the __init__ is called that's what's causing your
problem.
